I do not support new entrances on Pembroke Street and Free School Lane. The current entrances are adequate for pedestrians and cyclists. Both streets are part of the few visually appealing streets left in the city centre. The proposal that new entrances would be sensitive to historical surroundings is vague and easily ignored in today's planning environment. The B'enet Street and Corn Exchange entrances could be widened and made the main public entrances. There are more pedestrians in that area anyway. The Whipple Museum main entrance could be in the new courtyard which is proposed.
